#23 - Watch One Netflix Movie per Week.

This Weeks Movie...

The Simpson's Movie

I really.. really.. enjoyed this movie!! I am not a huge Simpon's fan, but I used to watch it when I was a kid. I didn't really know what to expect from the movie.. but I went in with an open mind, and I was quite entertained. I didn't fall asleep which says a alot!!

#39 - Buy a Flat Iron

I have had this saved as a draft.. but I haven't straighten my hair so I never posted it.. I did try once but it was taking forever so I said forget it!! I will try again some other day..

My Mom also helped me mark this task off the list! She got me a flat iron for Christmas! I'm going to see about straightening my hair on Friday. If I accomplish this.. I will post a picture.

Having this flat iron will help me complete task #38.. Try a new hairstyle. If I can get my hair straight, I will go to a GOOD salon.. and get my hair styled so that I can wear my hair straight more often! That is my new years resolution. GET NEW HAIR! :)

#31 - Buy a New Dallas Cowboys Shirt

Well.. My mom helped me mark this one off the list. She got me one for Christmas!! and I love it! Thanks mom!!

1. Jennifer - Ahhh! We are getting older!! Jennifer celebrated her 25th birthday on December 14th. I hope you enjoyed your day! ♥ YOU!

2. Renison's Wii - Reno & Allison (Renison) bought themselves a Wii as their X-mas gift to each other.. which is awesome for us!! because they are the people we hang out with most!! I love that Wii! It's so much fun.. and it gets you off the couch!

3. Weekend with My Family - We got two spend to quality evenings with my family this past weekend. Started off with Jennifer's birthday dinner on Friday at Chili's, then Diego and I went with my family to watch the Texas vs. Texas State basketball game.. then to dinner at El Gallo. The game was good.. the food was even better!

4. Stephanie - Stephanie is celebrating her 25th birthday today! She is spending it in DC with her honey! I hope you have a good day Steph!

5. Tammy Tam Tam - Last night.. Tamara (a good friend of our, good friend Reno) & her boyfriend, Herd, came to the south side (she's a northie) and with them, they brought all kinds of good stuff!!

#23 - Watch One Netflix Movie per Week.

This Weeks Movie...

In the Land of Woman

I would give this movie a thumbs down.. because it's depressing. I mean, let's face it.. the only reason I wanted to see this movie is because I love Seth Cohen! (Adam Brody) The characters are likable but the movie just doesn't really go anywhere..

#69. Visit Grandma

My mom, Aunt Clonda, Aunt Debbie and Uncle Donny go visit my Grandma every Wednesday. Last night, Brad and I decided to go with them. It's always tough to go because I have mixed emotions about seeing my grandma in a nursing home.. On one hand, I know I need to see her more often because I don't want a day to come where I regret not seeing her. But, on the other hand.. I don't want to see my Grandma like that. I would rather remember her, how I remember her when I was younger. I can honestly say that the person I saw last night.. was not my Grandma. It makes me so sad, because I miss her.

I ♥ You Grandma!!

Here is a picture of my cousins and I with our Grandma a few Thanksgiving's ago.

#75 - Make Christmas Cards

Well I made Christmas Cards today.. but I don't have a picture.. I will see about getting one. I went to my mom's house (they have more x-mas stamp options than I do) today to put together this years batch of Christmas cards. They were finished in about 2 hours. They turned out pretty good for being put together so fast.

#67. ~Week 3 ~ 5 Things I am Thankful For

1. Good Camping Weather - I was preparing for the cold.. expecting typical December weather.. but I guess I forgot that this is Texas.. and the weather is simply unpredictable! When we arrived at the camp site (according to my car temp) it was 84 degrees! Even after the sun had been down for some time.. I was still fine in a t-shirt. The wind did pick up later into the night which made it a little cooler.. but no lower than 70 I would say. So a light jacket was all that was needed. It was pretty much perfect. The only downer was the humidity.. which caused our blankets to feel a little wet.

2. James' Tents - James, Steph's boyfriend, offered to let us use his tent for our camping trip.. which was super nice and we really appreciated it..otherwise.. we would have slept in the Vue. Thanks James!

3. I got my tire fixed - I've been dealing with one my tires for about 2 months or so, it just keeps deflating.. and I'm lazy about getting stuff like that taken care of. Instead, I just spend 50-75 cents each week.. to air it back up. Since I knew we were going camping I figured I should get it fixed because I wasn't quite sure what kind of terrain we would be dealing with. So on Friday, I got it fixed. There was a nail in it.. but it's fixed.

4. Myspace - Or should I say Crackspace! because it's highly addicting.. However, I find it to be a great waster of time! Sometimes my job is pretty "blah".. so.. myspace is perfect BS tool!

5. Michelob Ultra - I used to drink beer.. but then I got over it. It just didn't taste good enough for me to consume all those carbs & calories! I know Mickey Ultra has been out for a while now.. but I tried it for the first time pretty recently and I have to say.. it doesn't taste too bad.. and it's low carb! I'm still not going to be a big beer drinker.. but now I have alternative to the fruity stuff!

#09 - Go Camping

Diego, Joey, Brad, Reno, Allison, Lando & I packed up and headed to Muleshoe Bend for a weekend in the great outdoors!

It was really fun! James let us use his tent which was really nice, it was really big so we had lots of room.. I got the air mattress :)

This was my first time to make real campfire smores! Yum!

Please excuse the marshmallows around my mouth!

Diego & Reno tended the fire..

Few Pictures from the next morning..

Lando!

The weather was awesome! The rain held off right up until we started packing our stuff.. so it sorta became a mad dash to get out of there before we got stuck on the way out..

It was a quality weekend. We will definitely be doing that again..

This Weeks Movie...

Hairspray

I liked this movie.. once I got passed the singing. I know it's a musical.. but it seemed that there was a LOT of music. I saw the Ricki Lake version a long time ago.. but I didn't really remember much about it. Overall, I would say it was pretty good.

#36 - Eat at a New-to-Me Restaurant

Diego & I met Erica, Jerry and Jackson for Dinner. We went to Garcia's in Buda for some Mexican Food. Diego & I had never been there before which is surprising because it's pretty closed to home.. and we've always heard good things about it. It was Delish!

#84 - Diego Hung The Towel Bars!

Yeah! We finally have towel bars!

We took our old towel bars down when we painted our bathroom back in September..

since then we have not had towel bars which was getting annoying! So after much procrastination.. we have towel bars!

These are just the mirrors that we hung up.

#67. ~Week 2 ~ 5 Things I am Thankful For

1. Jackson - Who celebrated his 1st Birthday this week... He's growing like a weed and He's cute as button! I ♥ JJC!

2. TV Online - Sundays are always slow.. so TV Online is AWESOME!! Hey, I've done work too..

3. Christmas Lights - I love driving through neighborhoods looking at Christmas lights. Also, I got ours put up this week and I'm pretty happy about that!

4. Brandy's Happiness - She's my best friend.. and she seems to be pretty happy these days *wink, wink* I'm really glad that she finally has something to smile about! I'm excited for her!

5. Mall Massages - I have seen the massage people in the mall before.. but I've never really thought of getting one. On Friday, I did some Christmas shopping with Brandy and Melissa.. and Melissa (who works at the mall) gets them all the time. She decided to give me an early Christmas present.. and I got a massage in the mall... It felt great!

Thanks Missa!

#73 - Bath Time for Kitties

Ok... so... I know most people probably don't bathe their cats, but we do. For whatever reason.. we've just always given them a couple of baths a year. Now for Mia.. it's not so bad.. Mia loves to hang out in the sink.. and she loves to play in her water bowl.. so baths aren't so bad.



She looks oh so happy..



And then there's Marley... Who couldn't possibly hate her life anymore at this moment! She didn't really care for us the rest of the day.
